Off the shores of Jiran Island, Monster X rises from the ocean and walks out onto the island; it looks around and takes in its surroundings. However, a low roar from the ocean catches the creature's attention, prompting it to turn around.

The jagged dorsal plates of the Alpha reveal themselves off in the distance, steadily rising out of the water until the rest of his enormous body follows suit. Now entering the shallows, the Alpha slowly begins to ascend onto his two feet and comes face-to-face with the intruding P.E.M.F.; a clear disdain for its appearance shows on his menacing face.

"SKREEEEEEOOONNK!!!!"

Monster X, not phased by the battle cry of his opponent, charges forward, and the Alpha follows up. The two clash, and their hands lock together. However, the P.E.M.F. is easily overpowered by the sheer power of the Alpha and is steadily pushed backwards into a nearby cliff; the impact causes a debris cloud of dust to form.

The Alpha doesn't stop there, however. After shoving Monster X into the cliff, he releases his grip and begins to furiously send his clawed hands into the approximate area where the intruder's head would be, like an angry bear continuously swatting its paws at a rival. He doesn't let up one bit, continuing to slash and swat at Monster X's head for several more seconds. Out of the blue, however, three golden energy beams erupt from the area that the Alpha was previously slashing at, hitting him in his eyes.

This surprise attack catches him off-guard, causing the Alpha to roar in agony and recoil away. After shaking his head a bit, the Alpha turns back around to where he had pinned Monster X, but the indentation in the cliff is empty.

All of a sudden, the two feet of the P.E.M.F. strike the Alpha's face from above and slam him into the same cliff. Monster X places both feet on the ground once again and, before its opponent can retaliate, seizes the dorsal plates on the back of the Alpha's head and pulls him back before slamming him back into the rock wall; he repeats this motion for many more moments.

However, all the dorsal plates begin to glow a faint blue, and smoke starts to emanate from Monster X's hand. The P.E.M.F. pulls its hand back and looks down at it, seeing that it's now smoking after having been badly burnt.

The Alpha manages to pull his head out of the rocky cliff wall and turns to face his opponent. Before Monster X can react, the Alpha lets loose an intense stream of fiery blue plasma directly at the intruder's head, causing it to recoil and begin backing away. Not one to allow his opponents to escape his wrath, the Alpha walks forward as the P.E.M.F. backs away and maintains the stream of plasma on its face. After several seconds of continuous exposure, he finally lets up and watches as Monster X falls to its hands and knees before him.

He looks down at Monster X with an angry expression across his face before raising one of his clawed hands. However, he stops short of Monster X's face, for his attention is now on the numerous tiny creatures now emerging from the ocean.

They number in the thousands, gathering around their apparent leader. At their arrival, Monster X begins to get back up to its feet, once again facing the Alpha; it's still a little wobbly standing up. Its eyes begin to glow a brighter red colour than normal, and suddenly, the swarm of tiny P.E.M.F.s, hundreds of Trilomites, rushes towards the Alpha. He roars at the swarm and begins to stomp around, sweeping his tail from side to side and crushing Trilomites by several dozen at a time; their sheer numbers are unhindered by this process.

Soon enough, they begin to swarm up the Alpha's body; he roars loudly as he shakes his body about to get rid of the creatures. His dorsal plates begin to glow a faint blue, and he lets loose a powerful energy pulse that throws off many more Trilomites. However, their onslaught continues without delay, with the swarm continuing to clamber up his enormous body.

The Alpha begins breathing plasma all around him, vaporizing droves upon droves of Trilomites, whilst the ones climbing his back are gradually being burnt off. All of this resistance proves futile, as the Trilomites seem endless as they completely swarm over his body.

With one last pained roar, the Alpha collapses onto the ground. Most of the small P.E.M.F.s scatter, all except for one. This particular Trilomite is situated on the back of the Alpha's neck, with its stinger embedded in his hide.

Monster X walks up to his quarry and kneels down next to the Alpha; its eyes once again glow a bright red colour. As it does this, the Control-type places its hand on the fallen Alpha's head, and a red aura appears to transfer from its arm to the Alpha's body. This process goes on for several minutes, until finally, Monster X's eyes stop glowing; it removes its hand from his opponent.

It stands back up, and as it does, the red eyes of the Trilomite situated on the back of the Alpha's neck begin to glow.

The Alpha's eyes suddenly open up, glowing the same red colour.
